Reynolds ready to commit

Waukee offensive lineman Ross Reynolds has stayed patient with the recruiting process as he continued to see more interest from the Iowa Hawkeyes that eventually led to a scholarship offer today. Now, the 6-foot-3, 290-pound Reynolds has a pretty good idea about what he wants to do next. We caught up with him to get the very latest.

Q: What did Iowa say about an offer?
